Maybe you want FailIfExists="no"? That would seem to make it a no-op on repair, since you already have UpdateIfExists="no".

Subject: [WiX-users] Repair mode condition Hello Everyone, Installer is creating a user during installation and removing during uninstallation...But, when I select repair option after installing the msi, it executes that component and tries to create the user again...As a result of that, my repair fails...I donot want that component to be executed during repair mode...I have given "NOT Installed" condition and it does not work...It still behaves the same.... Please let me know what would be the proper condition for not allowing a component to execute during repair mode...
